We made another trip to the zoo about a week ago, fortunately before the weather turned really hot. This sloth was the only successful sketch I made.Sketch from August 12.

One Year

I can’t believe I missed the first anniversary of the blog. For some reason I thought I had started it at the end of August, not the beginning. (For the record, it was August 6th.) Thanks for sticking with me. I’ll post a sketch later today.
